Kind of a reminder we're really all in the same boat. <BR/><BR/>Shauna, I thought you had good points in both comments and it's true in general I take better care of myself now than I did when I was younger. A lot of days at lunch I get a spaghetti with marinara only. Little fat and lots of lycopene. :-) I have a co-worker just turning 30 and he's still having "Bacon with every meal" weekends. I warn him about it even though he thinks I'm just an old guy with a doomsday complex.Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284680909152676159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14761314.post-71709226127293433342008-03-18T15:08:00.000-05:002008-03-18T15:08:00.000-05:00Exactly on point.Being mortal can be a drag.But, a...Exactly on point.<BR/><BR/>Being mortal can be a drag.<BR/><BR/>But, as long as Sid is Alive, all is well in the world :-><BR/><BR/>p.s. in my Tech Comm. class, students are researching public health issues.

Think about how tedious and time-consuming flossing every day is. If people didn't worry about bad breath, cavities, and periodontitis, how would they get themselves to do it?Shauna Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871768714926149114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14761314.post-42060840475288463872008-03-17T22:29:00.000-05:002008-03-17T22:29:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shauna Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871768714926149114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14761314.post-17345827443593266172008-03-17T16:08:00.000-05:002008-03-17T16:08:00.000-05:00Personally I figure I could always get hit by a bu...Personally I figure I could always get hit by a bus tomorrow, so worrying much about health is somewhat pointless. Of course, I say that from a long-standing history of pretty darned good health. Being a black market baby, I think there's been a benefit to not knowing my genetic health history...What I haven't known certainly hasn't killed me...yet. After all, they don't call it dis-ease for nothing!<BR/>Hope all's well with you, of course, however!Lana Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975996208260144558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14761314.post-53556271591604974452008-03-17T14:34:00.000-05:002008-03-17T14:34:00.000-05:00For most of my life I was very healthy and didn't ...For most of my life I was very healthy and didn't think much about how I felt, or worry that something was wrong. As I've aged, and gradually began to develop "conditions"--e.g., hypertension, severe arthritis--I've begun to think a lot more about ailments, both mine and others. My conversations with my lunch-buddy friends at work would have left the 20-years-younger version of me yawning and grabbing at any chance to leave the room. Now, however, it's all of vital interest--because, who knows, what my friends have may be what I develop next....<BR/><BR/>Every now and then we do vary the topic a bit and get away from our ailments to discussing other things!Sphinx Inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429797402360703839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14761314.post-45256351169538907162008-03-16T16:02:00.000-05:002008-03-16T16:02:00.000-05:00I know what you mean!Now I know I have high blood ...I know what you mean!<BR/><BR/>Now I know I have high blood pressure I am aware I have it and therefore I can sometimes worry about it which of course has an effect on my blood pressure! lolMiladysahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065128196666157541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14761314.post-57276890871368181352008-03-16T10:24:00.000-05:002008-03-16T10:24:00.000-05:00You hit the nail on the head for what I've been go...You hit the nail on the head for what I've been going through. I would have sworn I didn't have a hypochondriac bone in my body but since I've had some weird things happen lately I've gotten quite concerend about my health, and part of it is having too much information about what something might be.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
